Invisible decrease - put hook through the front loop of two single crochet stitches, yarn over and pull up loop (two loops on hook) yarn over and pull through two loops. 


  • This pattern is worked from the top down in a continuous round.
  • Use a stitch marker to mark the beginning of the rounds.
  • The Booty Crew can be made in any size yarn. So have fun playing with different yarn and hook sizes. 
  • At the end of making the body, I use the same tail to do all the shaping. Sometimes it can be difficult working with a tail that long so you can always use scrap pieces of yarn. Just make sure everything is secured tightly so the apple keeps its shape when you are finished. 
  • You may make and sell finished products from this pattern. Don’t forget to credit Crochet by Sarah Louise as the pattern designer. Please don’t copy or post this pattern or photos as your own.
